Master Programme

Please consult our brochure for an introduction to the Master Programme. Further details are outlined in the study guide.

The ETH Zurich Master Programme in Environmental Engineering offers the possibility to specialise in two out of the five following major courses:

• Urban Water Management (presentation only in German, major course in English)
  
• Ecological Systems Design and Waste Management
• Water Resources Management
  
  
• Hydraulic Engineering (major course in German)
  
• Soil Protection
  
  

It is, however, mandatory that one of the majors is chosen among the first three subject areas listed above. Each major has its own catalogue of compulsory courses.

Students can choose courses from a broad range of electives, allowing them to either broaden their education or to specialise in the electives chosen. Carrying out a project enables students to deepen their scientific knowledge and familiarises them with working methods typical of Environmental Engineering.

The Master programme concludes with the Master thesis once all subjects have been successfully completed and, in accordance with the European Credit Transfer System, the required 120 credits have been acquired. The Master thesis is based on one of the electives chosen and is carried out over a period of at least sixteen weeks.

Successful graduates are awarded the degree 'Master of Science ETH in Environmental Engineering'.
